Part 4
Post-reading
Work in pairs. Talk about your opinion on Brad’s international exchange in the US. Did Brad deal with culture shock in America successfully
Post-reading - Further thinking
Anyway, I have many great memories of that year, especially playing in the snow in winter, and playing baseball. At Halloween, I went to a party dressed as Harry Potter. At Thanksgiving, we had a big dinner with a huge turkey. (lines 20-23)
This made me think about my own culture as well. (lines 26-27)
One possible idea:
I think Brad dealt with culture shock in America quite successfully. At first, he had great difficulty with communication, food and school life. But he did not give up and kept a positive attitude towards the culture shock. For example, he took part in the cultural activities. He had a better understanding of his own culture as well. In the end, he got used to the life in the US and had many great memories of the exchange year.
How to deal with culture shock
to change culture shock into culture curiosity.
to be optimistic/positive
to be open-minded
to respect the differnce
Useful Proverbs：
Do in Rome as Rome does . 入乡随俗。
Haste makes waste. 欲速则不达。
Stay and adapt. 既来之则安之。
